April is National Sarcoidosis Awareness Month. Sarcoidosis is a multi-system inflammatory disorder that affects people of any race, gender, and age worldwide. Symptoms can mimic other diseases, vary in the degree of severity, and change over time, therefore a proper diagnosis and a lifetime of quality care are needed.
